Abstract

Abstract With a sample of 2,118 largely low-income, ethnic minority individuals with and without chronic illness (CI), this study examines couple-oriented relationship education (RE) on emotional distress levels. We applied a correlational research design to examine dyadic changes in distress following a couple RE intervention with a one-group pretest-posttest design. Female participants reported higher relationship distress at baseline. Both females and males showed significant improvement in distress post-RE intervention (Wilks’ λ =.93, F (1, 669) = 79.49, p < .001, η2 = .08); women showed greater improvements at the end of the RE intervention, despite posttest relational distress still being greater than men. The CI group did not benefit more than the non-CI group suggesting further investigation regarding changes in distress post-RE for couples with CI. Counselors may find couple-oriented RE intervention useful to promote relational health in those with CI or as part of a holistic health intervention.

有或无慢性疾病的低收入夫妇进行RE干预后关系困扰的差异

摘要本研究以2118名低收入、少数民族、有或无慢性疾病(CI)的个体为样本，考察了夫妻导向的关系教育(RE)对情绪困扰水平的影响。我们采用了一组前测后测设计的相关研究设计来检查一对夫妇的RE干预后的双重痛苦变化。女性参与者在基线时报告了更高的关系困扰。re干预后，女性和男性的痛苦均有显著改善(Wilks’λ =。93, F (1,669) = 79.49, p < 0.001， η2 = 0.08);女性在RE干预结束时表现出更大的改善，尽管测试后的关系困扰仍然比男性大。CI组并没有比非CI组受益更多，这表明进一步研究CI夫妇在re后的痛苦变化。辅导员可能会发现以夫妻为导向的RE干预有助于促进CI患者的关系健康或作为整体健康干预的一部分。
